Subject: bug or feature??

Hello Marty,

Playing with R3.13.0 beta4, I found a the following behaviour (bug?,
feature?) and then found that 3.12.2 behaves in the same way:

>From the VxWorks console I used dbpf to change the SCAN field of a
record, e.g. from 1 second to 2 second . I mis-typed, and the put was
rejected with an "Illegal choice PV" value. dbpr shows the unchanged
value of the SCAN field (1 second), but scanppl shows that the record
was removed from the 1 second scan list. I assume it is not scanned any
more. Attached is the console protocol.
